Polish. Admire. Repeat.

HPB Oct. Halloween Mani Link-Up

Hi, everyone! I know I’ve been a terrible blogger lately, but I’ve gotten so frustrated with not having a space to take pics or to do anything more than paint on a single color. I’m going to try to fight through it more though!

For today’s post, I have a Halloween mani and link party from the Hobby Polish Bloggers group on Facebook. This group, founded by Steph at Imperfectly Painted, is for non-professional and just-for-fun nail polish bloggers. We use the group for support and feedback, and it’s just a really great environment. The group recently decided to do a monthly feature, and since this is October, this month’s theme is naturally… Halloween! So now, onto the polish!

HPB Oct. Halloween Mani Link-Up

I started my Halloween mani with a base of two coats of Zoya Genevieve. It’s a bit… jelly-ish, I guess, so it actually could have used three coats. And it dried much darker than the bottle (which is what I’m holding, and I have no idea what’s up with the smokiness either). Anyway, I took Zoya Raven and a small detail brush and painted a spooky scene: a haunted house on my index finger, a dead tree on my middle, and a couple grave stones and bats on my ring finger. I added a bit of grass to all fingers too.

Using Zoya Brooklyn, I added a full moon to my pinky, lights to the house, and some highlights to all my fingers. The moon and house lights also received a coat of Pure Ice Glow in the Dark. I wish that my pictures had turned out better so that you could see the details more clearly. I’m definitely out of practice in that regard.
